I don't think I could cover that much cool old equipment in one day. I grew up in the early 60's north of Detroit, in an area with several gravel pits. I spent a lot of hours watching the old draglines working. Thanks for bringing a smile to this old face.
Lakeside has one hell of a collection of equipment and obviously a lot of interest in keeping in running and allowing people to come and see it. Just imagine cleaning out those shops to make room for the displays. Putting it together must take weeks I commend them doing it amazing! Thanks for these videos Brandon really enjoyed it. Stay well.
Dud that's awsome!! As soon as we got out of the truck I told Clifton see I told you we should make a RV out of your bus there's one right there!!! Great meeting you!!! I look forward to the next time we cross paths!!! And your welcome my pleasure!!!
@@dirtgrainsteel its a work in progress! But I get it done a little more all the time. Once it's done I'm gonna find an artist to paint the side with a mural of some earthmoving site on the side.
At 6:50 I really could not believe that you have a US Navy Seabees dump Truck on video. I have not seen one of those in my life and I'm a retired Seabee. I love seeing the old equipment that the Seabees used. Nice job.
My son and I were there at the show yesterday too. It was probably my 5th year going. It keeps getting bigger each year! They do keep restoring and fixing the "work in progress" equipment. I feel that you gave the show a very good look in the video, but in person the shear size of the collection is amazing!
Thank you for the great video. Some serious iron, just to think of the operators they themselves were made of steel. Not like today equipment: GPS, heat, AC and "joy" sticks, better view ( no twisting body and neck ) and so forth. We come a long way. BTW been there quite few times to pickup boulders and rocks for landscape construction.
Some neat equipment there. Shows how good we got nowadays.Don’t drive the little green car in the city of Laporte. It would fall in a pothole and never be found.
@@dirtgrainsteel YES the Gradall would be a neat item to be there! there was a few shovels there! it was neat to see all the equipment there! where in Ohio is the event? great video!
Hey Brandon did speedcrane later become Manitowac? Wondering the logo is really similar it looks like. Awesome video love seeing that old iron that built America still around and working. Seeing the Bucyrus Erie sign and stuff brings back memories of grandpa talking about em. He wrkd on that rail line
Yes in 1927 Manitowoc took over Moores speed crane and then it became and from what I understand Manitowoc is the only American produced crane all built right here.....I really want to start a show like this around here I've got a good size collection started and I've got some ground I'm like you I love seeing this stuff still going!!
@31:21 That was specially built by Euclid to be used as a Dynamiter at Euclid's proving grounds. It has twin 6-71 Detroits and twin Alison Transmissions. Unfortunately, the Dyno was scrapped when the truck was converted to haul steel coils.
My dad operated a Bucyrus Erie 88B cable front shovel for 5 yrs. I think the power from a 12 cylinder Cummins engine. Air powered controls and a 5 or 6 yrd bucket.
thanks for taking us a long great video did you know the Huber was built in Marion Ohio also The Marion Power shovel the companey how built the transport for the Appollo moon missions in the 60s and 70s and the shuttle and still used .
@28:40 The blade of that AC dozer is mounted to the frame. The hydraulic cylinders push down on the tracks to lift the blade. Grading is impossible because the blade cannot be tilted.
@1:04:15 That was a great idea. Problem is, it didn't work very well. 1. Long wheel base. Using the loader took forever to turn around. 2. Overloading the loader caused the front wheels to lift off the ground. No steering 3. the controls for the loader were behind the operator. Either one had to do uncomfortable twisting or the operator drove with the steering wheel behind the back.

That’s a cool place! I like those Euclid TC 12 dozers.
I have no idea what I would use it for but I have always wanted a uni Mogg!!

Hey Brandon thanks for taking us along that was awesome 👏. I did not know that Allis Chamers made a diesel W D 45 .
Your welcome! Yep them did they were very rare though!!
Like the channel
If the 71B would have been operational i would have been there. Thats a fun one to operate. I have some footage posted of previous years
Looks kid if like the place diesel creek and scrappy industry goes. They have nothing but old machinery like that
Such a small field.
What about the rest of all that corn stubble?
so what would bring to the show? you have such a nice assortment of equipment! take care and be safe!
Probably my Gradall and my 690

Brandon , how tall are you? How many acres do you think that complex covers?
6' 2" tall and my boots probably add a inch or so
All that old equipment and didnt see any farmalls
Not a single Two-Cylinder Deere neither!!
The Austin Badger is a W9 Farmall tractor
